Dutch-American IM Jan Van de Mortel is at Corus. He told CLO that today Aronian praised his "monster bishops", chastized his technique once he
was winning (43...Bg7 where 43...Nxa4 was better) and said Kamsky had pushed
too hard for a win.

GMs Levon Aronian, Sergei Karjakin and Lenier Dominguez lead Corus with 5.5 out of 9 with four rounds to go.
